Re: Chase Mastercard and the US Mint, I am SO Mad
<< <i>If you dispute the charge because it is a false one the credit card company takes the hit not you. >> No, the merchant takes the hit. This is an online transaction, not a physical card swipe. The credit card issuer is only on the hook if it's a physical card swipe. Russ, NCNE -
Re: first bad experience at parsippany show with a dealer-
My first impression is that the story about the rattler Franklin set was false and simply told to you for I don't know what reason. The initial offer on the coin did not seem horrible, but you have a right to shop the coin around for a better deal. -
For Those Who Think Ebay Favors Sellers, You're Wrong
Disclaimer: I used to be of that opinion, mainly b/c of certain alleged/actual scandals (i.e., WIWAG, laser cutter wielding card trimmers, Mr. 1/1 in Vegas, sellers of 20 count BC/BCDP lots who take the $ and run, etc.). However, my opinion has changed and here is why: Back in late October, I sold a basketball card to a… -
Re: The tuffest of the tuff in TPG
We agree on something - different grading companies have different standards. Where we disagree is with respect to whether it's futile to compare those different standards and what the comparisons show. Most everyone who's commented on this subject in this and other threads believes that CACG's standards are tougher/more… -
Re: The Official 2011 Topps Heritage Thread: no sticker autos in THIS product!
<< <i>Dave: your Cedeno is definitely a green tint, your Happ is not. Your Mattingly has a black border and is of no use to you. Matt: green, red and blue tints will only fall within the 110-196 range. lame that Topps made a reverse neg A-Rod and didn't bother making sure everything was reversed. Sloppy. >> Thanks Joedie,… -
Re: Holy Mother!! $611 and counting for a raw 81-S!! Wow!! Closed at $1,475!! Coin #2 sold for $610!!
And by the way, scenarios like this are exactly why I'm getting out of Morgans completely. Sooner or later this house of cards is going to fall, and some are going to go down hard. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if the coin business was regulated like the stock and investment business is, there are a lot of… -
Re: Give us your best "collecting in the old days" stories.
In the military, in the early 60s, I was stationed in Klamath Falls, Oregon. To make ends meet, I worked in a gas station. Klamath Falls was a direct line out of Nevada and people were always anxious to get rid of those darn silver dollars. When they would stop to buy gas, they would always use them first. As we had no… -
Re: how much time after a peak in prices does a bull run end?
I'm with tneig. Goal is ultimate decider. For me, metals are my insurance against dollar destruction and will continue to be so until I see dollars destroying my metal. For me the bull run is over when I no longer need the insurance that metals have so far provided. While metals may fall, as long as they are falling at a… -
Re: Minimalist or Maximalist?
Your question probably falls on deaf ears to most die marriage and variety collectors. I understand the quest for quality, and can appreciate the concept of a "box of 20", but that will never fly for anyone seeking to collect all 454 (?) die marriages of the Capped Bust half dollars or all 92 marriages of the Capped Bust… -
Re: Laura's report is up......Everything is Gold, Gold, Gold
Dreck just keeps falling and falling out of favor. Anything but cheap Indians and Lincoln cents. ALL Nickels are slow. MS and PR Seated and Barber Type. She thinks Indians are slow, maybe because she didn't have anything. I sold, and sold and sold. It was a very hot show. I also bought some neat deals too. I don't think…
